Hello. I'm scheduled for my breast reduction in October which I'm super excited about. While setting up the appt I was asked if that included the lift. This I was not sure since part of my reduction is being covered by insurance. But is this something that usually comes with the reduction? I'll be reducing from G cups.

Answer: Breast Reduction vs. Breast Lift Breast reduction and breast lift are essentially the same procedure. The difference is that the breast reduction involves removal of skin and breast tissue thus reducing the size/volume of the breast. The nipple areola is repositioned to a more central location to give a more youthful appearance. In a breast lift( mastopexy), the breast skin is removed with minimal amounts of breast tissue. There is a very small change in breast size however the relationship of the nipple areola to the breast is also improved. For the most part the types of incisions required are similar depending on the individual needs. Discuss this with your surgeon. Best Wishes.

Answer: Breast reduction Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Congratulations on your decision to pursue a breast reduction! Our patients are generally extremely satisfied with the procedure. Yes, a breast lift is part of the reduction procedure. Of course, you will need an in-person consultation to evaluate you for this procedure. Preoperative visualization and surgical simulation with the Crisalix system may help with your decision. Any treatment plan should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation in person with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
